Great question.. It looks like the girls use MaxPreps.. I wonder if itll be the same for boys?With the OHSBVA website being gone, will there be a central place where schedules are posted?
I hope not. That website sucks and never seems to have the right info.Great question.. It looks like the girls use MaxPreps.. I wonder if itll be the same for boys?
Most schools have a Instagram/Twitter that posts schedules or just their athletic website but it doesn't look like they're all in one placeWith the OHSBVA website being gone, will there be a central place where schedules are posted?
Yeah, was hoping to not have to track them all down that way - but c'est la vie.Most schools have a Instagram/Twitter that posts schedules or just their athletic website but it doesn't look like they're all in one place
Pretty rock solid. Personally, I’d have Moe over X and probably Darby or Olentangy over Kilbourne, but all the surprise schools are perfect. Upper Arlington should be another one that’ll be a lot better this year.Who are your top 5 in each region for D1? How about a team that will be better than people think?
Southwest Predictions:
1. X
2. Moe
3. Walnut
4. Elder
5. Centerville
Surprise: Lakota East
Northeast:
1. Ignatius
2. Hudson
3. Ed’s
4. Jackson
5. Brecksville
Surprise: Firestone
Central:
1. Liberty
2. Mount Vernon
3. Jerome
4. Berlin
5. Kilbourne
Surprise: Westerville North
Moe and X will interesting, but I'm thinking X might be able to topple Moe this year.Pretty rock solid. Personally, I’d have Moe over X and probably Darby or Olentangy over Kilbourne, but all the surprise schools are perfect. Upper Arlington should be another one that’ll be a lot better this year.
3 of 4 sets. Lasalle won 25-22 in the 1st, Walnut won 29-27 in 2nd and then it just says Lasalle took 3rd and 4th sets. I can't say I'm totally surprised, as Lasalle should have a better supporting cast around Hausfeld, but it's also a scrimmage so you can't really know what funky things were done just to mix things up with lineups. It'll be interesting to see who sets for Walnut and who steps up as 3rd and 4th offensive options. Wheatley and Tombragel will keep them in a lot of matches, but their arms might fall off by the end of the season.Per Lasalle twitter, they took all 4 sets against walnut hills.
My mistake. Still, raises some questions about Walnut Hills’ state championship chances in my eyes.3 of 4 sets.

IMO, 2020 was probably their best chance. Hagerty, Lipscomb, Vogelpohl, Borgmann, Britt and then possibly Wheatley and Tombragel getting reps as freshmen and Smith-Trondle as a sophomore. 2021 was another good shot at it, but fell short after giving Moeller a good match. I think they've just gone through a good stretch of really good players and have certainly made a splash in the interest in volleyball at the school, but they might be calming down a bit in how competitive they can still be going forward. Wheatley and Tombragel can keep them in almost any match this year, but could definitely see Loveland winning the ECC this year. Walnut's got some tough opponents on the schedule: Moeller, St. X, Centerville and I'd say McNick and Roger Bacon will be tough too. Lots of young, impressive talent on those teams.My mistake.

That 2020 team would have been good, but St X and Moeller were both loaded that year. Walnut could have beaten Elder, but not sure about the others.IMO, 2020 was probably their best chance.

2021 was a solid chance for them. 2022 would have been the best shot with Smith-Trondle, though. The "what-ifs" are big around that injury.
I'm not sure anyone thought Walnut had championship chances this year, especially with just one team from the South making it. They have more significant holes this year I think, and I'm not sure the coaching will do much to help overcome that so it will mostly be on the OHs to drag them as far as they can.
Really?It's not decided that only one team from the South will make it to States.
It's been determined that there will be 4 teams at state for D1 and D2, but I don't believe even the regions have been set, let alone when those regions would cross over with each other.Really?
Sure, but I doubt that they would pull two from the same region and one from two others. Not a great long term plan.It's been determined that there will be 4 teams at state for D1 and D2, but I don't believe even the regions have been set, let alone when those regions would cross over with each other.
Technically, no, but, looking at how other sports are run by OHSAA, I have my doubts it'll stay the same.It's not decided that only one team from the South will make it to States.
I hope very strongly they can continue to raise the profile of boys' volleyball in public schools in the Cincy area. Plenty of Columbus area public schools have made their mark and even Dayton has had some solid public school teams in Centerville, Beavercreek and, to a lesser extent, Northmont. Would be great to see it around Cincy to give more of a challenge to the big 3 every now and then.That 2020 team would have been good, but St X and Moeller were both loaded that year.

The Libero DNA in the Wong household is something elseMoeller Varsity roster (some surprises here, like having 3 sophs and a freshman on Varsity for the defending state champs who already return a lot):
